Vivek B. Ajmani

Applied Econometrics Using the SAS System

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While many available books address statistical analysis using the SAS system, this is the first to cover SAS analysis of econometric data. This unique resource first introduces econometrics and econometric models, before describing how to analyze data using SAS. Topical coverage includes classical regression analysis, theory of least squares, models for panel data, systems of equations, and discrete choice models. An invaluable tool for advanced undergraduates and graduates learning about econometric analyses, statisticians, and econometricians in industry, this book also features a tutorial on Proc IML and an appendix that provides the programs and data sets.
